Hopefully she does well, we need more inclusion so we can rid of hacks like Jon Moss
Frappart to become first female referee to officiate men's Champions League game
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
I think this will be a good move forward.
At least when she's refereeing men's teams, players will be more respectful and less "handy" confrontational.
Else they'll be getting backlash
by the media, in social media by football fans and may even faced "legal actions".

Apparently it was a Latin sign of friendliness.
Because City is irrelevant
Need United-connection levels of impacts to make this big news world wide. Just look at the Cavani post. Okay kid aside, I recall the Aguero incident contextually is just a quick light tap and there were criticisms - Arteta was it(?) that talked about it(?) and even in social media people complained about it. But of course not too serious because the incident isn't too much. Do it again and he'll face more backlash.Disgusting. I want my football players visibly hatin' on refs, and vice versa.
"respectful", oh, I feel sick.
Referee is going to referee a football match. Cool.
Great news!
I don't see why there would be a need to be more respectful. Players can yell and scream foul play in her face all they want, but if they touch her inappropriately she has every right to send them off on the spot, as would a male ref. No hands on the ref at all times.I think this will be a good move forward.

Good news but Steinhaus should have given a chance a few years ago.
She deserves it, she's great, I'm always glad when I see she's officiating my team's games. Like recently she officiated in our game against Lorient. It started really messy with a lot of fouls and hacking, she tried to stay nice at first but that didn't work. She upped the tone around 20-30 mins, gave a couple yellows and asked to talk to the 2 captains. Even though we couldn't hear what she said her gesture was pretty obvious. And it changed the outlook of the game. Instead of trying to break ankles, teams actually started to play football. She didn't need to pull another card until late into the game when we were hard pushing for the win and Lorient were using every trick in the book to waste time.
She also broke some record about distance covered and stuff like that so at this point she's as legit as any male referee and better than most of the ones in Ligue 1.

At least she will be able to keep up with the pace of the game unlike Moss!
Good news, hope she has a good game
Great to hear, doubling the pool of talent can only be a good thing for refereeing across the world. Sounds like she will impress!
